Here is an amazing statistic: More than one in four
children with learning disabilities drop out of school,
and only about one in eight attend four-year-college
within two years of leaving high school (National Center
for Learning Disabilities).
Parents of children with learning differences such as
ADD/ADHD and Dyslexia have a unique and exciting road
ahead of them. This phenomenon may have been perceived as
a burden when their child was first diagnosed with these
learning differences, but they also know that God does not
make mistakes. God has a special purpose in mind for every
person created in His image, and that includes each one
who is learning-different! Therefore, parents must refocus
their personal expectations of what their child should be
and find out where God is guiding this child. It is time
to become God’s helper in raising His child. In the book
“Of Different Minds” readers learn why their child is
wired a little differently and how to cope with and
educate this incredible person. Our guest today is the
author of the book Maren Angelotti who is an Academic
Language Therapist and AD/HD instructor for both children
and adults.
